Hands-On The New Tissot Seastar 1000 40mm Automatic Diver

Very surprising Tissot has just released a collection of new Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 in 40 mm size. This is a huge improvement from the previous 43 mm automatic Seastar 1000 watches - and not only regarding the size. In this video I give you the detailed full review of the new Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 40 mm with the turquoise dial reference number T120.807.11.091.00.

I think this looks great. Lots of features that I want. Appreciate the video.

[@tschoy9388]

Thanks for your video, I brought one black blue version in Hong Kong today. Waited for two weeks. Personal comment is their black rubber strap is very comfortable.

[@ryanjofre]

You absolutely hit the nail on the head with the criticisms! This is an absolute Winner, winner chicken dinner! Finally Tissot! Lots of enthusiasts hate big watches, not just people with small wrists.

[@TimeAndCrown]

Thanks for watching 🙂

[@ryanjofre]

@@TimeAndCrown I would happily pay Tissot whatever they want for #1 Uber good Lume #2 Am amazing modern clasp not this boring dinosaur and lots of micro adjustments. #3 A ceramic bezel #4 only two lines of lettering. Your 100% right! Three lines od lettering is way to much on a 40mm It’s all about the Lume, can you post a Lume shot please???

@@ryanjofre Its hard to capture on video. The lume is good 👍

[@SaSpursFan]

Love the size. Would have loved if the indicies were a little larger and the bezel was a little wides

Liked and sub’d! Short and sweet!

I'm buying this....

Love the color of this watch.

[@mattiaroverso1321]

Very nice Watch ❤ i have the old 1000 Professional and the 2000 Professional 😊

[@tschoy9388]

Yes, I compared the T1000 and T 2000 side by side. The T2000 46mm is really too big. So, I brought the new 40 mm 1000T today immediately.

[@elkawash]

I wish that they made a fully blue dial with this model

[@yusufclgn8060]

I wish it had ceramic bezel. I would definitely buy

[@TyphonLeTitan]

I would not base my final thoughts with that but it is your choice :) Ceramic is not perfect.

[@yusufclgn8060]

@@TyphonLeTitan I used to have seastar 43 with ceramic bezel and i really liked it. But I had to sell it due its size because I couldn’t get comfortable with it. Numbers on the bezel were engraved which looks great in my opinion. The numbers on 40mm’s bezel becomes invisible when light hits in some certain angles. That’s why I want ceramic bezel.

[@TyphonLeTitan]

@@yusufclgn8060 Understand :)

[@typebflieger]

Thank you for sharing your hands-on video of this piece so soon after release! Regarding the beat error. Sometimes when I get a poor reading on the Timegrapher, it’s a misread. I play with the sensitivity settings, or I turn the watch so the crown is facing the metal part of the clamp (still dial up). One of these two approaches will often show me a more accurate signal.

[@TimeAndCrown]

Thanks for watching. And great tip regarding the timegrapher. It does behave strangely at times.

[@dustinr16]

Yes, adjust the volume gain (up/down). Mine does that sometimes and caused a false beat error reading.

[@MrCdmorenot]

Excited to get my hands on this one. My collection is 9 deep and I’ve been waiting for something in this price point to fill that final spot. Going for the PVD.

[@rokulus7910]

I want to like this watch (and its quartz cousin, which is the same size). But something about the dial just looks off to me. I think it's that the indices are too small for the dial. The proportions look wrong. I get that Tissot probably uses smaller indices than other brands to differentiate them, but I guess I'm just really particular with dive watch styling. The texture on the dial, OTOH, is fire.

[@hectorshouse7348]

Fantastic sizing…I’d like more colour choices though.

[@TimeAndCrown]

If the watch becomes a succes I’m sure Tissot will introduce more variations.

[@entelferidun6367]

still eta c07.111 ?

[@dustinr16]

Looks great except I despise the mineral glass bezel insert. Why couldn’t they have done the nice engraved ceramic bezel insert that the larger 43mm models get? Probably not buying one because of this glaring, cost saving, omission. They just updated the entire 43mm model a few years back giving them all a really nice engraved ceramic insert. But the 43mm is way too big.

[@simonwright6882]

Looks to be the best version yet. I wonder which version of the powermatic is it as one of the versions has plastic parts as I believe they use in the prx?

[@BobMarley-pm1xb]

Look at the number of jewels. Tissot often uses the PowerMatic 80 with 23 jewels. I have an 8 year old Hamilton Khaki Automatic with a 25 jewel PowerMatic 80. In the 23 jewel version (I’m not a watchmaker…hope I get the part name correctly) jewel #1 is replaced because “plastic self lubricates “ (so sez the Swatch Group) so, a plastic balance wheel. Jewel #2 is gone because the pallet fork is also made of plastic. Stick with Sellita or NIB older ETA movements. Hope this helps, cheers!

[@ryanjofre]

It’s not the 23 jewel calibre that says Hi tech escapement that’s laser regulated with plastic parts!

[@simonwright6882]

@@ryanjofre Not one for the collection then.

[@ryanjofre]

@@simonwright6882I have two 39mm couturier Day/dates that have the 23 jewel calibre with plastic parts and the TOTL calibre with gold rotor. They both have outstanding accuracy with buttery smooth winding. The only real difference is the TOTL powermatic 80 can be adjusted by a watchmaker and the one with polymer parts can’t and the one with TOTL calibre has anti reflective coating on the underside of the sapphire. If you send the “HI TECH escapement” Watch to Tissot for service they just throw it away or tear it down down for parts and pop in a new one! People talk alllot of shit about those calibres but it’s accurate and runs beautifully!

[@ryanjofre]

@@simonwright6882So your saying only want the cheaper one? Can you please elaborate fellow watch lover??🙏🙏

[@quazar2001]

Looks like they did it right this time

[@RJtoon1]

Are they restyling their entire Seastar lineup or anything? Last summer I bought the Seastar 1000 quartz chronograph in orange that thing is 45 mm. Perfectly fine on my 7 inch wrist no overhang with the lugs or anything but I didn't even know they made it in a 38.

[@PocketUau]

They don't. It's 40 Auto and Quartz or 36 Quartz.

[@fredflintstone1984]

40mm/12mm is perfect for under sleeves. Tough choice between the stainless and PVD. Both blue dials are awesome. Looks like a great daily driver to me. Powermatic is solid mechanical watch. I’m thinking the bezel comments are overblown, but my complaint would be i wish the bezel was lumed too.

[@seikailu]

Can it be regulated

[@dado380]

Mido for the similar price has by far the best braclet and the clasp on the market.

[@cengizgokce81]

Which mido is that?

[@ryanjofre]

I HIGHLY doubt that! Which model please???

[@NCSheriff7]

but garbage lume and bezel is hard to rotate

[@simonwright6882]

This new design is far more attractive to me however the idea of plastic parts in the movement would stop me from pulling the trigger.

[@dustinr16]

3 measurements of the depth rating is a little much too (pick one). It does have lots of dial text going on.

[@TimeAndCrown]

Its not a huge thing for me but two lines should be enough.

[@ThwmasSt]

it looks nice for the size and for the new case I have mix feelings, but with no engraved ceramic bezel and the weird blue colour, idk really if worth it!

[@astorbeijer9424]

I like the look of the watch, but I'd be a little worried about the mineral bezel. Why would anyone even do that? Why not just go with an aluminum bezel instead; if they were wanting to save money? And that clasp! 😱 I would have to swap out that bracelet just because the clasp is so godawful.

[@TimeAndCrown]

The clasp functions well and is secure. But it looks extremely dated just like on the Hydroconquest. On the other hand the bracelet is excellent.

[@babyglocka3520]

Just buy a Citizen NY0085 or NY0084

[@TimeAndCrown]

No thanks.

5:03 bit error 3.1 ms??? 🤮

[@TimeAndCrown]

It can happen with the Powermatic 80 movements that the timegrapher makes a wrong reading. I’ve seen it before.

[@mrdisco99]

The Powermatic 80 movement is known for showing phantom beat error on cheap timegraphers. It's a false reading and should be ignored.

[@awnik99]

Polished center links is the dumbest idea on a diver ever. Who asked for that? Who wants to wear a diver as a dress watch? Mineral insert is another fail on tissots side. Seastar 1000 43 has a ceramic insert and costs $200 less

[@simeonaleksiev8690]

They are trying to be seiko so bad

[@RabbitWatchShop]

I lost interest when you mentioned mineral crystal insert. I’d much rather Tissot give us an aluminum or steel insert coated in black with silver numerals and markings. I further lost interest over the dated clasp. It seems the Swiss have fallen behind the Chinese and micro-brands when it comes to entry to mid-tier offerings. No innovation. No tool-free adjustable clasps. Just the same ole stale crap from 2000 to 2018.
